Ribbon Cutting for New Nassau Community College Student Services Center to Take Place on Tuesday, September 20

 

Cutting-Edge, Interactive Technology Streamlines the Student Experience

Garden City, NY — On Tuesday, September 20, 2016, at 11:00 a.m., Nassau Community College will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Student Services Center, located in the lower level of the Administrative Tower Building. The Center combines many student service areas under one roof. It has been equipped with a variety of "smart" features to enhance the student experience, including interactive check-in kiosk stations; text and email capability to let a student know when it's his or her turn to see a representative to cut down on waiting time; and a mobile "kiosk agent" who uses a tablet to further streamline the student service process.

"Our goal is to make a student's experience with enrollment, academic records, financial aid and making payments as smooth, efficient and friendly as possible," said Maria Conzatti, Vice President for Academic Student Services, part of the NCC team that worked on the project. Over 47,000 individual discrete services have been provided to students since the Center opened in late July. The Center, which is 33,000-square feet in size, has five entrances.

The new Student Services Center at Nassau Community College is part of the College's ongoing efforts to improve the student service experience.
